Fringe: The Amazing Human Adventure
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We absolutely need more women in Science. So when I heard that The B-Plot Girls was running a science-related show for kids at Fringe, I had to check it out for myself.

Fringe: Break a Leg: Perth’s Finest Ballet School Dropouts
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Goodness, gracious me. These ballerinas aren’t just dropouts. They’re miscreants shedding the rigidity of the form and bringing their strength and sass to cabaret. I loved that, true to modern burlesque, we didn’t see just the typical ballet figure. What a fabulous middle finger to society it was, to see the curvy girls show…

Unless someone in majoring in English at university or has a special interest in Shakespeare, people are not inclined to spend time dissecting the text and examining the historical context….
Fringe: Impromptunes: Tune Your Own Adventure
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I am a big fan of improvisational comedy (improv); I love watching how quick improv artists are thinking on their feet. One of my favourite improv comedians is Wayne Brady. He is known to come up with full songs, complete with dance moves, at the drop of a hat. When I heard that the…
Fringe: A Simple Space
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Perth had a taste of Gravity and Other Myths (GOM) in Winter last year, as part of the inaugural Re//Perth Festival. This dynamic troupe is back to wow audiences with A Simple Space. The first thing you notice when you first settle in is how bare the stage appears. There are no elaborate costumes…
